A couple of points of clarification. The transport company is out of Texas and crisscrosses the county picking up and dropping off horses. There were already 2 horses on the truck and they were headed to pick up a 4th before starting the dropping off. He had been in Alabama, Tennessee and Virginia before heading on to Maryland.
And the new owner didn't ride him because she had broken her arm being thrown from a Thoroughbred and isn't suppose to ride until August. He daughter had just graduated from college and was on the riding team. She was a very good rider. I think Brother will be well cared for with plenty of attention. Also, her 22 year old son is looking forward to a western horse.
Thanks for the clarification. I was wondering why the trip took 14 hours. It sounds like Brother is going to a very good situation.
ReplyDeleteOur friend runs a horse transportation company, those hauling trailers are massive with pick up/drop off's all along the way. I would have someone ride a prospective horse for me regardless, as well as ride - but not with a broken arm. Ouch! One see's different things when observing, and feels others under saddle.
